Personally, I've got to have it. So much so, that I'm going to skip this round of new products. I even find it annoying that the RX100 doesn't have it. I'll find myself touching the RX100 screen to focus.

The RX100 is still a nice camera, but it would be much nicer with a touch screen. I could probably live with an NEX-6, but I think I'll wait for one that has a touch screen. I'd be more inclined to go with an OM-D, but I'll wait and see what Sony does because they have better image quality.
